IDM extension is getting flagged as malicious by Google.
Temp Fix :
1) Go to setting and disable "Enable phishing and malware protection", then try to install the crx again. It works for me (Though Not recommended) .
2) Alternate way to bypass this restriction.
- Go to "Internet Download Manager" folder in the "Program Files".
- Look for file IDMGCExt.crx (This is the IDM integration extension for Chrome)
- Using 7Zip or Winzip or Winrar extract the contents of the file to a folder on desktop (or where you can write data, since in the program files you need permissions to write)
- Copy the folder with the files extracted to the folder of IDM in Program Files
- Open extensions page on Google Chrome and enable the developer mode.
- Click on button "Load unpacked extension" (or something like that), navigate to the folder where you extracted the files and choose it. Done. IDM extension will be back.
